Lower Canada 1815 Eagle Halfpenny Token
Offered is an ever-popular post-1825 (antedated 1815) 'Eagle' token, with wreath in clockwise direction, CH#LC-54D2. This piece, although bent, bears above-average detail for the type, as well as a most appealing, original patina. Of note is that although these tokens circulated extensively in Lower Canada, they were in fact issued by an American merchant named Nye, who operated out of Phillipsburg, NJ, and as such, also circulated in the N-E United States.
